Controlling the Internet of Things – from Energy Saving to Fast Evacuation in Smart Buildings
Abstract There is an increasing interest in connecting things into network (known as the Internet of Things) to improve the performance and to provide novel services. Control plays a big role here not just to help connecting things together, but also to make things “smarter”. In this chapter, we will focus on a particular type of Internet of Things, namely the smart buildings. There is an increasing demand for energy efficiency, comfort, and safety in buildings. It is possible to achieve these different and sometimes conflicting objectives in the same time. Occupant-oriented wireless sensor network plays a key role, which collects information on the demand (what the occupant wants), the supply (what the building can offer), and how the two parts may coordinate with each other (the elasticity of the demand and the supply). We will briefly review the state of the art and the state of practice in this field. In particular, we will see how to control such an Internet of Things to achieve energy saving and fast evacuation in smart buildings.
